Grunting/Outwardly pouting

My 4 year old has started doing this annoying pouting/grunting thing every time he gets mad at something or someone (which is quite often). It has been going on for a few months, at first I started with ignoring it and then I put him in timeout and told him it didn't start until he was quiet. I'm at my wits end with this! Does anyone elses child do this or have they done this?

Continue to ignore it . Encourage him to use big boy words to express how he is feeling. If he feels like pouting, he can go to his room and do it from there so the household isnt disrupted by his displeasure.
